How to service and repair the Water Pump on a 4.0L SOHC engine on Ford Explorer?

Draining of the engine cooling system must occur before servicing or repairing the coolant pump on a 4.0L SOHC engine. The first step consists of removing cooling fan components and accessory drive belt while the coolant pump pulley bolts should be tightened to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.) before reinstalling. The service required for the coolant pump demands hose clamp release on the coolant pump bypass hose along with heater hose and lower radiator hose. After removing the bolts as well as the coolant pump and gasket replace them carefully with a torques value of 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.) for the new gasket. The mating surfaces should be cleaned by applying a plastic scraper and following metal surface prep instructions according to the package directions. Any remnants from the old gasket need removal with a plastic tool instead of using wire brushes, scrapers, or other abrasive tools that could create leaking defects. When complete install the part by returning to the original removal method.

The Water Pump in Ford Explorer vehicles has the responsibility of circulating coolant from the radiator to the engine and absorbing heat created during the combustion. The common method of circulation in most models employs a belt-driven pump accompanied by an impeller; however, some new systems incorporate electric water pump units. Leaking, noise from bearings, and engine overheating is some of the signs that suggest a faulty water pump is present. There are high-performance water pumps for high-performance engine where coolant flow is increased and it consumes low power as compare to standard water pump. Some benefits of electric water pumps include coolant circulation that can be independent of the engine, post shutdown cooling and additional remote locations' capability of the pump installation owing to their compact nature.
